Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

[NISFAN]

I've just refreshed my quotes now I have a delivery date. Peugeot still miles ahead - roughly like for like cover, DirectLine £725 to Peugeot's £309.

Yep I’m going with Peugeot, £580, Protected NCD.

Apparently they send a set of Peugeot badges and clear instructions on how to remove the Tesla ones with every policy.

Not too long once I had decided not to risk only taking one key!!

Haha same here, we didn't want to risk bringing one key so had one done.

Tesla must like Mercs, my 18 plate A class also got the best price! And similarly I also appreciated less hassle…

Less hassle I would have taken a hit on the trade in but this is the best of both !

 

[LeSloth]

Interesting, have just looked at a comparison website for insurance quotes, around £580 (Chuchill, Privilege, Hastings Direct ) - could get £530 if I have a box fitted (uh, no, thanks). How does that compare with what you guys have found?

We got quotes from the same price range - And I did see that £533 quote (if you had a box included, no thank you haha).

We are deciding to continue with our current provider and will be paying £97 and the insurance will be transferred over from our BMW X1 to our Tesla Model 3 SR+.

Same, tesla offered me £29k on my C class which cost me £23k in April. Everywhere else was around £27k. Love the car, never had any intentions of selling it until I saw the money i would make. No brainer really.

Oh and in insurance I'm hoping to call my current provider (LV) this afternoon to see what their price is to flip to tye M3 ....

Just off the phone to LV - my CLS was £492 - they want an extra £110 to change to the M3 for the remainder of tye policy (June 22).

A full years premium would.be c£680. That's with full NCD, a pay out for a right off 4 years ago, wife as named driver and business use on 10k miles a year

I’ve found these Tesla’s are quite expensive to insure.

They do have a high insurance group - Thatcham are too old school and expect security to be done a different way to Tesla and so down rated them + replacement parts are expensive. Tesla don't help the situation by not fitting locking wheel nuts as standard

I swear LV don't won't any more business, as I've moved 4 policies away from them this year due to excessive price hiking on renewals (cars and house).

A thread which purely has a focus on insurance would be lovely, if only one existed

We just need to create our own thread..... "Ireland: The long lost forgotten island Tesla ships can't find"

Each of my 3 partial payments reflected in my account within 2-3 hours. Did you remember to quote your RN as the reference on the payment? Suggest you speak with CS

Yep, did all these things and have all the screenshots. CS aren’t particularly helpful..

I’ve found these Tesla’s are quite expensive to insure. Admiral wanted over a thousand for it. Bearing in mind my BMW M2 Competition is around £640 with them. Direct line through the Tesla link is £800 for me (26k miles a year, business use).

Ouch! That's what my 18yr old is paying for his 2nd year of driving an old Corsa!
The M3LR is also more 'cause value (of course).

Agreed, chopping in my 2020 CLA shooting brake and their price was very competitive compared to others

Will try that next, ask current provider for quote to change existing policy.

Interesting and must be horses for courses - they were great when I claimed for my right off and were cheapest renewal after it as well. I'll pay the additional until the end of the policy and then shop around

Finally showing 5 days later, coincidentally while I was on hold to Tesla… only 2 weeks to delivery!

 

[JonP73]

And just managed to get through to CS !

I rang to see if / when they would have my reg allocated and advised 2/3 weeks ahead of collection.

Whilst on I took the opportunity to ask about which variant I'm getting ......

305 miles range
"Old motor" so "faster" / "old" [email protected] seconds
Heated rear seats
Heated steering wheel

Well chuffed

I think we are establishing a pattern here folks

My trade in offer increased significantly in just 3 months. Tesla/BCA offered lowest of any quote in June, to offer highest in Oct. I didn’t plan to part ways with the baby Benz until next year, but now I’ve taken the plunge.

 

[Shakb]

Like any ‘dealership’ Tesla UK have a list of number plates assigned to them, which they allocate to customer cars (that’s why they know what Reg yours will be, now). But they only register the car with DVLA a day before delivery. So it won’t compute with any insurance company until the car is officially registered. This is normal for just about any car brand.

That’s cleared things up. Much appreciated

Just paid the non-financed part of the purchase (after asking loads of Starling Bank questions about fraud...yawn...), got the PDF of the payment from Starling and emailed them...whilst slipping in 'hey, know what my number plate is?'...no response yet but my account showed as paid within around 30 mins of the payment....so who knows what they're doing, or what my number plate is...
